After a busy paddy farmer has woken me up with his compressor driven toxic injection, I'm walking along a floodplain only accompanied by the twittering of birds. But
then, leaving the Shinano River behind me, I come on the
road to Niigata: No. 116. All heavy transport seems to run on this road which more or less has no sidewalk. Finally I see not way out and have to use other ways. I can smell already the
sea (can you hear me sighing?), but my battery is completely empty. In the middle of the city (I don't care about the name)
I'm hanging out in a Ryokan watching the Sumos (once upon
a time I was as fat as they are). Tomorrow it's going to rain (and the day after tomorrow also, GRRRRR!). A good day for the aliens department; I must have my visa extended. I'll try it once more and hope that tomorrow is no holiday!. But at last the sea is coming!! Yeeaaahhh!
